Improves .NET Remoting with support for callbacks and asynchronous events.Rather than opening a new connection for each method call/lookup, as is done in stock .NET remoting, PeerChannel will open only one socket between two hosts. Messages between hosts are multiplexed on this socket. This cuts down on connection setup time as well as conserves socket handles, particularly on heavily loaded hosts that potentially can have many incoming calls at once.Features include:- Bidirectional replacement for TcpChannel- Scalable MultiQueue- Supports server activated objects, client activated objects, and asynchronous remoting- Works with both binary and SOAP formatters- Replaceable prefix allows transparent upgrade- AES/Rijndael Encryption option

Interprocess Communications (IPC) component for sharing text and data between processes running on the same computer.Mini-Comm can also ensure that only one instance of an application is running at a time. Mini-Comm includes a messaging system to track and communicate with other processes, and a control panel for developers to monitor and debug interprocess communications and add messages to the system while it is running.

Comet server for .NET.WebSync lets you push data from your servers, in real-time, over the web.

WebSync is an implementation of the Bayeux protocol, so any Bayeux-compliant clients can be used to connect to it. It supports pretty much all browsers (IE6+, FF2+, Safari, Chrome, Opera, Safari iPhone, Android, etc) and includes SDKs for use with PHP, Silverlight, and thick .NET applications.

Hammock provides classes to help you consume RESTful services or develop your own client API libraries.It supports asynchronous operation, query caching and mocking, periodic and rate limited tasks, object model serialization, multi-part forms, Basic and OAuth authentication, and timeout and retry policies. It is designed to allow you to extend it, so you can provide your own serialization scheme, custom validation, rate limiting rules, and web credentials. It also helps you unify projects across a wide range of platforms and devices, as it works on .NET, .NET Compact Framework, Silverlight, Windows Phone, Mono, MonoTouch, and MonoDroid.

Provides developers with support for building .NET Framework 3.0 applications using the released version of Visual Studio 2005.These tools are provided as an early preview of technology being considered for the Orcas release of Visual Studio. These tools are not supported by Microsoft but provided as is to enable early adoption of the .NET Framework 3.0 platform. Users will be expected to upgrade to the Visual Studio Orcas release when that becomes commercially available.This release includes XAML Intellisense support through schema extensions for the editor, project templates for the Windows Presentation Foundation and the Windows Communication Foundation, and .NET Framework 3.0 SDK documentation integration. This release contains a preview of the Visual Designer for Windows Presentation Foundation (code name "Cider"). This release does not include a graphical design surface for the Windows Communication Foundation.

C# library for the Hessian web service protocol.The Hessian binary web service protocol makes web services usable without requiring a large framework, and without learning yet another alphabet soup of protocols. Because it is a binary protocol, it is well-suited to sending binary data without any need to extend the protocol with attachments.

Program used to create a Web Services proxy without business object generation.XWsdl is useful when you want to share business objects from the server to the client. The server must be created in .NET. It's an extension to the original wsdl.exe from Microsoft.

XWsdl uses the Schema Importer Extensions and simplifies the deployment. Without this tool, the extension must be deployed in the GAC and the machine.config must be changed. Alternatively you can install it in the Visual Studio 2005 private assemblies directory and modify the devenv.exe.config.
